Story in today’s Calgary Herald by Licia Corbella. Some of the 4,522 registrants that apparently applied online to make an oral application at the Northern Gateway Hearings had never heard of it.
She was also on Rutherford today (9:30 to 10:00)
Some ‘intervenors’ have never heard of Gateway

Listen to this idiot defend China’s environmentsl policies while trashing Alberta’s.
LOL.
Lilley was far too polite. The corporate suits that pimp hysteria must be put on the defensive at all times. His talking points appeal to urbans recently indoctrinated from watermelon theocratic institutions known as schools and the MSM. He should have been called on each and every one but particularly the Great Bear Rain forest (GBR). The disturbance from a pipeline is about that of a road and the proposed route would mostly be constructed through regenerated clear-cuts, particularly approaching Kitimat. The Indians have been bought-off by the same foundation funders that pay the Sierra club, just as they were for the GBR. The political class has made too many Indian bands into resource sector shakedown artists.
The best way to deal with these situations is go to basic premise, IE that on this planet you can live off the land or you can live off people who live off the land. Those are your only choices. The ENGOs want everyone to live off people who are no longer allowed to live off the land. Their responses then become defensive.
Being a grandfather only proves that one is a grandfather, and being one myself I know. I watched this last night on SNN and admit it was something else although not really surprising. If I had been questioning whether or not radical applied to him and his group, he proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he and they are indeed radicals. They refuse to accept facts, falsify and distort everything and just lie when it suits them. This makes any reasonable debate impossible with such agenda-driven radicals as demonstrated by Brian’s attempts. This grandpa confirmed how right I have been in refusing to donate to his radical organisation.
Five things have to come out of “Gateway”:
1 – Review and tighten up rules on any third party funding of Canadian “charities” and NGO’s, especially foreign funding. Disclosure on all donations and funding please – by law.
2 – Review what constitutes a “charity’. Cut the slippery crap of bending who is or isn’t a charity and who their money-laundering affiliates are ie; Pembina Institute/Foundation for instance. One is and one isn’t, but I’ll bet the charitable one “consults” to the other and transfers charitable donations right into the others bank account. We frown on publicly traded corporation doing this stuff, so why exclude “charities” and NGO’s?
3 – Have a look around your own employees at Technology Canada, Environment Canada and get rid of some over-paid, under worked, partisans in the ECO-Industries, sheltered PSAC/CUPE environment. I’ve got a better handle on climate change than these over-paid PhD’s do and all I have is a BSc. They mouth talking points of the UN’s IPCC, without even doing any work to validate or in-validate the crap they publish. See: Climategate 1 & 2 for all you need to learn about this fraud.
4 – Native groups taking federal cash should not be allowed to have it both ways when they take cash from third parties, especially foreign ones to impact the source of the same funding they get from me via my tax dollars. Force accountability, or else cut their funding! They can throw themselves onto those very same funding sources for their daily bread if they want to be two-faced, forked-tongued, hypocrites. I’m not paying to have them impact my living style and hold me to ransom, nor should this government enable them to do so.
5 – If you see this impacting your polling numbers, offer up a Moratorium on East coast/St. Lawrence Seaway tanker traffic and pipelines to central Canadian refiners as a sop to the green’s demands on the west coast. That will endear them to central Canadian voters who don’t see eye to eye with your brand of politics.

“You want to block the project altogether, or delay it indefinitely, then off to jail for espionage.”
Yup Yup…
Only it is sedition…not espionage…
Treason……..
forget about hanging….
Bring back hang–draw and quarter…..in public.
In my first post I assumed he was a serious environmentalist.. That is not true.. He is nothing but a Communist that has been told to hate OIL.. The Sierra club is used for money laundering of Foreign Money into North America for all kinds of initiatives.
He actually disqualified himself & the Sierra club from taking part of any Environmental Process. He & the Sierra club are obstructionists; an obstructionist provides nothing in expertise or best practice.
The Gov’t doesn’t need to include the Sierra Club in any process that is expected to help define Environmental practices
A forensic audit may put an end to his confusion and lack of understanding that a Global Economy doesn’t need to respect sovereignty…Treason is an offence
What a dangerous clown…..
….”I can’t be a radical because I’m a grandfather”
….”I won’t make a comment on that”, seems to be his pat answer every time he’s asked a question that might make him look bad
….”oil kills more people then heroin”, remind him of that the next time he wants to jet off to some enviro conference somewhere. I wonder how he got to the interview, walked?
….”who donates to us is a privacy issue”, ya I bet it is
While you might say that Lilley let him off easy, by doing so he let Bennett demonstrate just what a radical he is.
I watched this segment on Brian Lilley’s program yesterday. The Sierra Club guy was perpetually stuck on stupid. It was a painful segment to watch. Lilley did a good job — I would have lost my cool with the guy. Lilley stayed restrained, but did challenge the guy persistently.
I’m thinking all this exposure is really good for the Greenies. Lots of sunlight on them, what they represent, their tactics, who they really represent. The fact that the LPOC and NDP side with them is good also. More sunlight on them is more than just good. Our MSM is getting a lot of exposure as well, especially CTV, CBC, Globull et al and all those small town rags attempting to influence the debate. Best thing to ever happen to the greens in Canada.
Joe Oliver set the cats amoung the pigeons with that open letter. Best thing since removing ourselves from Kyoto. Let the feathers fly!
“Ma keeds”
Sounds like OJ and every other POS using his kids (or grandkids in this case) to explain why they can’t be the douchebags everybody knows they really are.
POed in Alberta, you refer to Native bands receiving federal (our) money, but you and others should also be aware that some of those protesting the pipeline have received huge amounts of foreign money to protest. That is even worse in my opinion.

I think Colin in BC nails it. Brian Lilley did a masterful job of drawing that fool Bennett out…nailed him on enough points and didn’t put him on the defensive…it was a thing of beauty to watch….such an interrogator will get more than water-boarding….
Lilley projected the unoffensive good cop image….some here would adopt the bad guy shtick…tempting but remember this is a battle for hearts and minds.
Lilley was also fighting the clock…if he had nailed Bennett on every thing such as “The Great Bear Rain Forest” he wouldn’t have got as much ground plowed….as it was he exposed Bennett and the Sierra crowd as the obstructionists that they are.
Only the idiots would be taken in by the comparison of Oil Sands Investment $ compared to foreign seditious $…..and the lack of transparency of these enviros as per their donors.
Bennett showed up to promote his cause but wounded it instead….with Brian Lilley’s assistance.

See: http://fairquestions.typepad.com/rethink_campaigns/
for information that native bands are recipients of foreign money as well, indirectly and directly on this issue. Do read up on it, ‘K?
“…Hands down, the biggest beneficiaries of Tides Canada’s distributions have been First Nations along the B.C. coast. Some of these same First Nations have vehemently promised to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline to send oil from Alberta to Kitimat, on the B.C. coast.
U.S. tax returns for 2008 show that Tides Canada paid two coastal First Nations US$27.3-million in a single grant. This mega-grant was “to fund conservation planning projects and conservation initiatives” and was earmarked for the Nuxalk and the Lax Kw’alaams. Tides Canada’s objective was to pay for “Mobilizing First Nations Against Climate Change in B.C.” and for “support of Coastal First Nations to hire a co-ordinator to engage with government, industry, environmental groups, media and the public regarding the proposed Enbridge Gateway tar sands pipeline.”
Surprised Brian did say to Bennett if you really cared about the environment and mother earth you wouldn’t have had any kids, let alone grandkids.
